Director Talks WarGames Reboot

King of Kong and Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon, who was recently announced as helming MGM's redo of WarGames, has opened up about taking on the 1983 classic.

A self-described "hacker nerd," Gordon told Hero Complex that he's been attending hackers conventions in his preparation for the film.

"A lot of things have changed technologically and geopolitically since the original," said Gordon. "It's ripe for an update. It's a more plausible chain of events now than it was back then. The source of an international political threat is no longer a nameless faceless country with a different political system. The world has changed so much that that kind of threat could come from a number of places."
